While I get now get my news from countless sources throught the day, even from the world wide interwebz, my wife still favors reading an olde fashioned newspaper.

Regardless, the NYT has many good qualities and some of the best reporting around, but I no longer relish its sport section like I used to, it's too story oriented for me, not enough stats and barely covers college football.

Whenever you're "in" Boston, "delivered to my driveway", I'm old and I read everything online, why mess with the paper and only read when you're in Boston? Why not just go online and read their sports section?

First off, while the Globe may or may not suffer from these issues, accessing a Newpaper site is often fraught with over-crowded graphics, idiotically restricted access, and the obfuscation of box scores. Actually holding a newspaper isn't just a relic of the past, but it is a far superior way of consuming information.

I would subscribe to multiple newpapers if they didn't largely suck nards (they are useless for basic news unless you literally have no way to access the news, and even the NYT is only ever about 25% good writing). However, when I am at home in Bowling Green, I devour the Sentinel-Tribune, because their sports section is just about perfect.

I prefer paper too. But, it's just more convenient to pull out the tablet and have thousands of newspapers at my fingertips. I overcome the banners, ads and such by finding the article and going to the reader view option.

1) who's advising these players about which pieces of art are good investments?
2) is this just a rush on art because Amar'e might know what he's doing?
3) how can they afford entire collections of investmentinvestment-grade art on their salaries? There are billionaire families who have been working on their collections for generations...

I suspect that you are right here. Nouveau riche attempting to emulate the behavior of old money without understanding the business (and relationships/cronyism) behind it
